I have a file with strings and I want to read from it every time X records. I have 2 questions:

  1. Which type of file should I save my records? ("records.")

  2. How can I read X records from my file and send them as json for HttpRequestBuilder as body? For example:

    val request: HttpRequestBuilder = Utils.createPostBodyRequest(
  "request",
  "localhost:8080/request",
  Map(Constants.Content_Type -> Constants.Application_Json),
  ElFileBody("records.json"))

def createPostBodyRequest(reqName: String, url: String, 
                          headers: Map[String, String], body: Body): HttpRequestBuilder = {
   http(reqName)
    .post(url)
    .headers(headers)
    .body(body)
}

  • If you make use of db like mongodb u can send me easily as a zip to the user and it will get downloaded to his browser – zenwraight Mar 27 '18 at 13:29
  • with file, the problem is, u will have to open it, read stuff from it, find next x records from the previous offset and then close the file read, zip the records and send it to the user. – zenwraight Mar 27 '18 at 13:30
  • @zenwraight In my case x=5 and I have only 15 records, so I can save it in csv or something like that. my question is HOW to tell him to take another attribute in every run ? its a load test so I want that will be automatically. – Lihi Golan Mar 27 '18 at 13:35
  • got it u are saying how to tell ur endpoint about the offset like in the first call u fetched 5 now in the second call fetch next 5 i.e from 5 to 10 and in the third call fetch 11 to 15. so that value u can send in ur request as offset value, like in the first call offset will be 0, in the second call offset will be 5 etc... – zenwraight Mar 27 '18 at 13:39
  • Also if possible can u share ur whole code here, then it will be easier to understand the flow – zenwraight Mar 27 '18 at 13:39
